WILD FOOD MAPa free tool to locate food and medicine plants worldwide

Wild Food Map is a plant knowledge and networking tool with a global overview of how people engage with plants and resources in the public and private domain. It provides an immediate window to citizen data embedded in online media that is instantly applicable to our surroundings. It offers an alternative for people to re-engage with their neighbourhoods, streets and footpaths through an edible adventure.

Wild Food Map provides a platform to rethink the way we engage with our surroundings and look at ways our consumption of plant materials impacts our environment and biodiversity. The map spotlights the impact we are having on what is left of our urban and suburban food bowls in greater metropolitan and regional areas surrounding major cities.

The audienceWild Food Map is a global plant community where gardeners, foragers, growers, restaurants, chefs and bush crafters can locate plants, share knowledge and find resources related to useful, edible and medicinal plant species.The platform will facilitate real world discovery, identification and learning, while fostering a network of producers, suppliers and consumers to promote and exchange plants, seeds, food and services.
